Leader of Haringey Council voices police plan concerns

from LBH website:

Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober has sent an open letter to the Deputy Mayor of London highlighting her concerns about proposed reductions in local police services.

The letter to Stephen Greehalgh was distributed ahead of last night’s Mayor of London’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) consultation event, which was attended by more than 150 local residents anxious to learn more about the proposals.

Cllr Kober set out concerns about proposals to reduce police front counter services in Haringey – and called for 24-hour counter services in Hornsey and Tottenham to be protected.

She also emphasised the importance of police visibility in helping local residents and young people to feel safe, and expressed disappointment at the level of resources allocated to local neighbourhood policing.
